Dispatching Troops

Before long, inside the magnificent Evernight Imperial Palace, the Evernight Grand Court Assembly was held on time, and the civil and military officials, who had been eagerly awaiting the event, had already taken their places in an orderly manner.

Li Yin and Zhao Jinzhu, who did not want to expose their identities at this critical juncture, were placed in a side hall at the rear of the imperial palace to listen in.

"Brother Li, the territory of the Evernight Empire is quite large." "Look at this, the decoration of this imperial palace is magnificent, luxurious and high-class." Zhao Jinzhu said after looking left and right.

Li Yin nodded and replied, "That's normal. After all, the Evernight Empire is one of only two super empires in the Qinghan Immortal Continent."

These past few days have felt like a dream. He has become the leader of a powerful force without even realizing it. Could he really be the chosen one?

"I've benefited from your help again, Brother Li. Not only was I able to complete the sect's training mission perfectly, but I've also become the vice-pavilion master of a rising power..."

"From now on, my life belongs to you, Brother Li! My immortal treasures belong to you, Brother Li! My immortal crystals belong to you, Brother Li! My future Daoist partner also belongs to you... um... we'll discuss that later. In short, we'll be brothers for life!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Zhao Jinzhu wanted to say one more thing, "Godfather, please accept my bow..."

"Why are you being so polite with me, you woman... what?"

"Brother Zhao, you said it yourself, we're brothers for life."

"Let's not talk about that now, the court session is about to begin."

Inside the main hall of the imperial palace ahead.

On the throne, the Evernight Emperor's eyes were cold as he slowly swept across the entire scene and said in a deep voice, "In the two days that I have been away, the desire of the Radiant Divine Kingdom to destroy my Evernight has reached its peak."

"They not only mobilized all their Radiant Emissary battle, but also increased their troops by 500 million, and ordered more than 10,000 affiliated immortal kingdoms to start a national war. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a minister stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that we should also wage a full-scale war. This war will decide the fate of the nation!"

"I second that! We've reached a point of life or death with the Light. They're reinforcing their troops and sending all their strongest warriors. Let's fight them to the death!"

"Very well!" Evernight Emperor nodded in satisfaction, and once again spoke with an imposing air, "In that case, I have decided to personally lead the expedition, mobilizing all the strongmen and immortal soldiers of my Evernight, to crush the Radiant Divine Kingdom within three days!"

"We obey your command!" all the civil and military officials replied in unison, bowing their hands in unison.

Not a single minister offered any advice. The reason why ministers often advised against a monarch personally leading an expedition was because they feared for the monarch's safety, leaving the court leaderless.

However, my own Emperor is in danger? What a joke, he's not worthy of such a title.

Even the leading conservative minister shouted:

"That is how it should be!"

At the same time.

Hidden Immortal Sea, adjacent to the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty, is already bustling with activity.

Standing at the very front were Shi Hao, Lin Bai, Hua Qingyu, Lin Feng, Mu Shuixian, and Lin Anye, with the Black Emperor and the two beasts Little White standing to the side.

Behind them were Azure Cloud Empress Ouyang Ning of Lingyun and all the civil and military officials of Soaring Clouds.

The outermost circle consisted of countless cultivators from the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty who were watching.

"What do you think is the purpose of all this grand spectacle today? Is it to welcome some important figure? The six Venerable Ones have even come out to greet us personally."

"I don't know. The court only announced that something big happened today, but didn't say what it would be."

"Let's wait and see, it's definitely going to be a good thing."

The Soaring Clouds cultivators watching whispered among themselves.

While they were completely bewildered, Azure Cloud Empress and her civil and military officials already knew everything.

We are here today to welcome the reinforcements sent by our esteemed leaders. Once these reinforcements arrive, it will be time to unify Qinghan!

By observing their facial expressions and clenched fists, one can discern their current state of mind: excitement and tension each make up half of their emotions.

"Judging by the time, the legion dispatched by Master should arrive soon. How exciting! This is the first time we've seen our Azure Cloud Sect legion. How majestic and magnificent it must be!"

Lin Bai, dressed in battle armor, spoke excitedly from the front row.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng, who was also wearing armor, spoke up, "Second Senior Brother, me too."

After these days of leading and honing their skills, the two men have developed a completely different temperament. They have lost some of their sharpness and gained more composure and a steely resolve.

"It's here," Mu Shuixian said softly as she sensed an energy fluctuation surging from the void, then looked up expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao and the others all looked up into the void.

An invisible energy fluctuation swept through, and the weather instantly changed. Two gigantic hands brutally tore the heavens and earth apart from the inside out! The rift transformed into a massive vortex, from which a terrifying aura of slaughter surged forth!

Sensing the chilling aura of killing intent, Shi Hao and the others remained calm and fearless. However, the Azure Cloud Empress and the Soaring Clouds civil and military officials behind them, as well as the Soaring Clouds cultivators watching from the outside, all wore expressions of terror, as if an invisible hand had gripped their hearts tightly, making their breathing rapid.

Then they witnessed a scene they would never forget!

"Roar! Roar!" Two deafening roars followed.

Then two enormous monsters flew out of the vortex. One was an ancient Ferocious Beasts with long, golden horns and black skin, and the other was a seven-headed Seven-Headed Bird with fourteen wings and feathers the color of burning flames.

The two beasts were none other than the Fierce Heaven Demon Immortal Deity and the Devouring Heaven Demon Immortal Deity, who were also the two Vanguard General of the Azure Cloud Legion.

Immediately following was a burst of stirring celestial music, accompanied by an extremely deep war song and the resounding beat of war drums.

"Between heaven and Peak of Azure Cloud —the spear pierces the mist, cutting through the chasm—... its fame spreads throughout the Heavenly Expanse and the world—the clan's rules are etched in our minds, our mission rests on our shoulders—..."

Amidst the resounding war drums, millions of Million Immortal Soldiers, divided into three teams, emerged in orderly fashion from the enormous vortex in the void, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene!

That wasn't all. Three figures with the most terrifying auras followed closely behind. As soon as they appeared, their immense and unparalleled auras of the Supreme God Lord Realm shook the heavens and earth!

At this moment, countless Soaring Clouds cultivators who were watching were so shocked by the scene that they were speechless and dumbfounded.

This... this... this!

Even the most elite army of the Radiant Divine Kingdom is nothing more than this, isn't it?

With such an army, and under the command of an unparalleled powerhouse, who in the Qinghan Immortal Continent could stand against them? And who would dare to stand against them?

Azure Cloud Empress Ouyang Ning of Lingyun narrowed her eyes slightly, her lips parted slightly, Nan Nan to herself: What kind of super-powerful force is behind the Supreme Beings? Compared to them, Soaring Clouds is truly an insignificant ephemeral...

"General Jun Jiantian of the Black Armored Mountain-Breaking Army, General Feng Yan of the Crimson Flame Sky-Burning Army, and General Zhao Huang of the Azure Thunder Abyss-Suppressing Army, I have met several of your disciples, Lord Little White, Black Emperor."

(Thank you to all the bosses for the gifts. This is day one of the ongoing challenge.)
